Is Ron Paul the most anti-war candidate in this election?

Question

Some say he is more anti-war than mccain and guliani. However is it true that he is more anti-war than hillary clinton or barack obama and can that work to his advantage if he ran as a vice president or president against those two for the republicans?

Answer 1

2013 is the dates stated for all troops to be withdrawn in iraq according to hillary and obama in debates (another election year for pres at the same time ) -ron paul wants them out as soon as possible -which would be jan 08 if he were elected - 60 percent of US population want the troops out in 1 year or less (according to ramussen poll done in the last month)- so if paul wins the republican nomination he has a very good chance of winning

Answer 2

Most 'anti-war'? He is against this particular Iraq war, and he is against escalating the war into Iran. But he did vote for declaring war on Afganistan and the Taliban regime for harboring bin Laden. That means he is not entirely 'anti-war'. He is against the Iraq war, and against escalating the war into Iran. And he did promise to bring back the troops immediately (within his first few months in office), unlike the 2013 date that Clinton and Obama had suggested, which, by the way means that they want a second term.

So, if you want the Iraq war to end ASAP, Ron Paul is your man.

Answer 3

McCain is somewhat pro-war, and so is Giuliani. Hillary voted for the Iraq conflicts, and has made confusing statements in public that seem to appeal to both anti and pro war stances. Paul has made it clear he finds the current conflicts illegal and would end them. He also speaks about opening diplomatic channels. I guess that qualifies him as 'most anti-war candidate'. Now, I feel that war is an acceptable solution as a last resort, and I support Ron Paul; I would be curious to see how he would react to or comment on a situation where the US needed to go to war. For example, if one of its allies were getting invaded. I think he would go for it. Obama is the only other candidate I can think of that is as anti-war as Ron Paul.

I think he would make an excellent Vice President. I'd love a McCain-Paul ticket.

Answer 4

if they would just put the issue to a vote in the congress for a declaration of war and it passed Ron Paul wouldn't have a problem with it and would support it as a legally declared war

Answer 5

Dennis Kucinich is the only candidate to have been top one hundred% of the time, on each and every subject, no longer in basic terms the conflict. each and every thing that reward YOU, or perhaps had the aptitude to benefit you, Dennis voted for. and additionally, each and every thing that has or could have harmed this u . s ., Dennis voted against. assured.

Answer 6

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich are both against the war and always have been. McCain and Guliani are both as pro war as Bush and Cheney. They can't be trusted.

Answer 7

Yes, because he is the only one that voted against it from the beginning besides, Obama, and he is the only one that voted against it, and wants to take the troops out of Iraq immediately. Don't know if that's a good thing or not.

Answer 8

I think you would have to look to Dennis Kucinich for the most street cred here. The Dictator Dumbya Big Lie Iraqi Crusade is an abysmal disaster.

Answer 9

Yes. I say this because he's been consistant and has reasons for being against this war. I don't agree with him here and I'm sad that he's so firm on that particular issue because he's equally firm on every other issue I care about and yet, I can't vote for him.

Answer 10

Next to Kucinich.
